My "Sis" Dana

 

Dana has been my friend since diapers. Our mother's were friends long before that. She is beyond a friend to me. She is more then a sister. We even found out we were having our first babies at the same time. I honestly think that I have taken her and our friendship for granted at times. She was always there. The times in my life when I have been devastated she was there to pick me up. to hold my hand and tell me it would get better. She listened to me cry endless hours while I was trying to have a baby. She has always been there for every celebration and every sorrow. We have held each others hands through marriages, births of children, divorces, and loss of loved ones.   

One of the first I told when I met Jeff.  One of the first people I called when I learned I was chosen to adopt Colt then Lilly. One of the first I called when I lost Saylor. Matter of fact one of the only people who I can talk freely of the sorrow that loosing our littlest still causes me.

She knows EVERYTHING about me as I do her. There are no secrets between us. She has never judged me. She has never betrayed me. The love we share is true and everlasting.

She is a has always been here for me and I know she always will. Even though I have several beautiful, wonderful friends that I love with all my heart-- No one compares to Dana. Looking back on our lives together I am really realizing what a gift our friendship it. It is honestly one of my greatest treasure. I thank God for this beautiful lady.

 

Dana's birthday was a couple weeks back. I put together a quick surprise party. So along with help from her best guy friend, Terry and her new boyfriend, John, we pulled off a fun small dinner. She was clueless..lol..

 

Hate that her eyes ar closed in this one:)

 

Just beautiful!

I want you to know that you have been my angel all these years. You are my rock. The love I have for you is beyond words. I honestly can not picture my life with out you. Thinking back on all you have gone through in your life... How you truly have transformed your self... How you went from a beaten down girl to the beautiful, strong woman you are-- I am overcome with such pride. I am in aw of you. I know you do not see it, but you are just amazing.  You inspire me. I am so proud of you. I am so proud to be your "sis". I can hardly wait to see where you go and to build many more memories for years to come together.

 I love you sis!
